Given how hot he’s considered right now, it’s not shocking that every studio and production company would be falling over themselves to capitalise on the Taylor Lautner effect before it burns out. Lionsgate is the latest, winning an auction for spec script Abduction that has the New Moon teen wolf attached to star.
Abduction – which needs to be chucked into active development pronto as Lautner’s dance card is filling up fast – follows the adventures of a young man who discovers that his parents are not quite who they seem. His first clue? Discovering his baby picture on a missing persons website…
That find leads to lots of Bourne-style reveals and action as he sets out to find the truth.
It’s been another busy period for the young actor, with him having to drop out of Skydance’s pilot adventure Northern Lights, but remaining attached to Stretch Armstrong for Universal and Paramount’s Max Steel. And don’t weep for him having to turn down Northern Lights – at least one other, unknown film is vying for his free time.
